jools Report post Posted June 21, 2007 in part 3.B it states......... 'Access to ICT specialist equipment provided by the school for G's personal use i.e. Alpha Smart' This statement is dated jan '07. in May we had a transition review (he is currently in Y5) the teacher wasn't present but she left a report which states '....it is becoming apparent that as demand to write more increases the Alphasmart is restrictive in that only a small amount of text is visible........G really needs to be able to view teh whole piece of writing at once. I think in the future a laptop would be a far better option to assist G.' i asked at the review if this could be actioned asap so that the laptop was his normal mode of recording work and so that by the time his sats arrived next year he was more than comfortable using the laptop. i asked if they would contact teh same man who assessed him for his alphasmart and was told yes. today hubbie has spoken to LEA about other matters to do with his statement and the LEA officer brought this up. she said that as it was an interim review (which we didn't realise....no-one told us ) his annual review would be oct 07 and they would look at the laptop then. i'm not happy with this. it mentions the alphasmart as an example of ICT equipment in his statement. surely if the teacher and the senco think he needs a laptop then they should go about assessing him for one and trying their hardest to get him one. am i missing something?
